Abstract

A new class of algorithms based on the triangle in-equality has recently been proposed for use in content-based image retrieval. These algorithms rely on com-paring a set of key images to the database images, and storing the computed distances. Query images are later compared to the keys, and the triangle in-equality is used to speedily compute lower bounds on the distance from the query to each of the database images. This paper addresses the question of increasing performance of this algorithm by the selection of appropriate key images. Several algorithms for key selection are proposed and tested.
